COP28 in Dubai has more than 90,000 registered delegates. Happy to connect with old colleagues from AGRA.
The Farmer's constituency welcomes the ‘COP28 UAE Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems and Climate Action’ #COP28UAE #ClimateAction #FoodSystems
The Farmer's constituency strongly agrees that a systems-based approach is essential not only to reduce agricultural emissions but also to deliver a step change in global food security and the well-being of farmers and rural communities.

The Declaration will only achieve its objectives if farmers are at the decision making table. We implore govts to focus on working with us to co-design policy that empowers and supports farmers to unlock farmer-driven climate and food security solutions #COP28UAE

In Nkhotakota on April 20, we met the amazing vetiver farmers, Sadk Zahaya (Chongole club), Imed Alli, and Shingi Kapoto (Manyamba club). They have taken farming as business, growing large tracts of the crop, not just on bunds and farm borders.
